Haydn Sonata in C major Hob XVI:50 played by Ben Schoeman

[@poplife123]

I never understand why Haydn seems to be so under appreciated .....he's as vital as Mozart or dare I say he's student Beethoven....

[@her.return]

agreed

[@wardm4]

Honestly, I've never heard a Haydn sonata I didn't like, and I've never heard a Mozart sonata I did like (except maybe the F major (No 11 or 12 or something (can't remember))).

[@dungnguyenkieunmy5505]

Haydn always seems to be too underestimated for some reasons. Mozart is lucky to have that gifted talent, but no one really see that his music is just a different version of Haydn’s and that mostly he learnt from Haydn.

[@KeenBulldozer]

Mozart is 100 million times better than Beethoven.

[@pianostudiomg]

@@KeenBulldozer I don't want to argue of course. Everyone has their own "attachments." But it's impossible to compare them... Different 'rules of the game,' different ideas, different worlds... I want to add my two cents :) This is my movie about "Moonlight Sonata". Maybe it will add some sense. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWfdeqqHpL2njc0

Haydn's piano sonatas have hidden depths. His slow movements are especially profound, as here. Lovely playing.

[@seestoepopclifton]

And he makes it look so easy. Beautiful interpretation.

Thank you😊😊

Excellent...must confess I'd never heard of Ben Schoeman before...my loss...😕😕

[@robertoalexandre4250]

What a sparkling performance as if the performer's hands had been dipped in champagne! Every phrase, from the exuberant major-key melodies to the "storm-and-stress" bursts in the minor and the long singing middle-movement lines - love those very subtle staccato-like touches - and the last bubbly movement. What comes across is a narrative woven together by shaping the individual musical phrases from within (dynamically and through a coloratura articulation) rather than just from one phrase to the next through contrast. The result: musical sculpture where the notes burst forth like strings of glistening jewels. Mr. Schoeman makes himself the channel for Haydn who comes through in unfiltered (i.e. by any distracting musical or or performance gestures) purity.

[@mountainman7077]

😮 im just a dude learning about sonatas because they have always attracted my attention. That was a roller coaster of emotion. They it started and ended with beauty and relief as expected. Cool. Onto the journey then. ❤

[@Ziegler-boothBlogspot]

Beautiful delicate playing. I played this sonata when I did my Licentiate many years ago.

[@HTFilms7]

He is so good and yet I haven't heard him play any songs yet! I'm glad to find him!

[@osvaldocapella3135]

Bellísima interpretación. Y Haydn un genio tapado por Mozart y Beethoven. Su música es para disfrutar. Un genio alegre.

[@emilycho722]

Beautiful interpretation! Absolutely wonderful. This is the best interpretation I have ever heard so far! :)

[@박진환-i8g]

[@gioielleriabracco1224]

Bravissimo, interpretazione impeccabile

[@quietwarrior9023]

I am inspired. Thank you!

[@gerardbegni2806]

RHis is one of the last sontats of Josph Haydb. It iuncludes some unusual discontinuities in the melody, and contrapunctal echoes. It is very interesting to hear carefully .

[@wydiachandra4036]

Bravo !

[@marksurgeon3088]

absolutely delightfull

[@ryanshin8648]

My teacher recommended this song, and I'll pick this song

[@michaelliu1412]

It's a piece smh

[@KrissVEctor-yg4kj]

Dude no one cares

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

⁠@@KrissVEctor-yg4kj People do care; this ugly mutation has become probably the most ridiculed misuse of any single word in modern English, and is nothing more than a grotesque excrescence on the body of a very beautiful language.

He is a South African musician who trained in Pretoria and was the winner of a recent Unisa International Piano Competition. He now lives in England (I think).

You can turn off the sound and you still understand Joseph Haydn's humor.

[@nestoracosta1551]

I was in a sublime state of being while listening to this and then an ad blasted in the middle of the second movement. Whyyy?? Please, don't do this.

For my feelings, too much "delicatezza". But it's ok, we live in a free world.
